PHENOMenal Singles to get GIDDY About
Raphael Saadiq feat. D'Angelo - "U Should Be Here"
Rapheael Saadiq - known for his stints in Tony Toni Tone and Lucy Pearl - is "S-A-double- D-I-Q," and proves again he "wanna get involved with you." This head-bobbin' mid-tempo experience will appear on Raphael's heavily anticipated Instant Vintage, due May 28. It's also great to hear the beautifully blended vocals of an incognito D'Angelo on this hit.Ms. Jade - "Feel The Girl"
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Warning - the moment this club-banger hits the airwaves, you won't be able to escape its infectious sound. This is a prime example of a song you can instantaneously fall in love with during the first listening. Timbaland kills the beat while Jade's smooth Eve-like lyrics make Beat Club Records a force to be reckoned with.(Shaheed Da) Poster Boy - "Lets Go"
"Don't care ya ghetto or sophisticated, from the East to the West I'm anticipated," states Poster Boy over the Jurassic Park theme song sample (yes, it's hot - please believe it!). "I don't know how the public will feel, I ain't even signed yet... First n-gga to rip Tha Bassment (BET) without a deal." Bottom line, he's hilarious, ghetto, confident, and has a uniquely hot flow - a must-have. Stay tuned for more info on Poster Boy.P. Diddy feat. Usher - "I Need a Girl"
*Giddy's Gem*
I swear this song is about J. Lo. A remix to "I Need A Girl" from P. Diddy's The Saga Continues album (released in July), this song is on the upcoming P. Diddy and the Family Present: This Is the Remix album. Hot song, although I would have loved to have heard Usher doing more than background vocals. Puffy, keep ya' head up.
Ol' Dirty Bastard feat. ICP - "Dirty and Stinkin'"
He's dirty and stinkin'. Of course we all know that when we look at Ol' Dirty Bastard. But that's not what matters - it's the music we care about. This single is what you expect from Ol' Dirty Dog: a song that's a little off the wall but keeps you tuned in. Look for his upcoming album entitled, The Trials & Tribulations Of Russell Jones in March.I'm Getting' Giddy about this Gal: Tweet
Tweet, Gold Mind Records' newest addition, was discovered by Missy and Timbaland. Tweet brings a funk/hip-hop/soul sound to the table. Her upcoming album, Southern Hummingbird, has an eclectic feel and diverse content, while also introducing a soft, yet soulful voice to the music world. With her current single, "Oops (Oh My)," Tweet comes to terms with her newfound womanhood. This single, with the typically hypnotic Timbaland beat, showcases her hip-hop influence. On other tracks, like "Cigarettes," Tweet reminisces over a lost love that leaves her "nervous and trembling, smoking cigarettes at night."In a collaboration with neo-soul artist Bilal entitled "Best Friend," Tweet copes with being in love with her best friend and not wanting to pursue a relationship at the risk of ruining their friendship. Much of her music deals with the complicated issues of love that many of us go through at some point, which makes her music especially appealing. With backing from the likes of Timbaland and Missy, we can surely expect great things from this artist. Look for Tweet's album, Southern Hummingbird in stores this March.
